P.C.


1.         Heard learned counsel for the parties on this Interim Application which

is filed praying for condonation of delay of 13 days in filing the Appeal from Order

bearing St. No. 22153 of 2026.

2.         There is no written opposition filed to this Application. Learned

counsels appearing on behalf of the Respondent Nos. 1, 3 and 4 although have

orally opposed this Application vehemently, they would not dispute the well settled

position in law in a catena of judgments of the Supreme Court in regard to the

principles to be followed on condonation of the delay and more particularly they

would not dispute that, in the clear facts and circumstances of the case, as set out in

the memo of the Application, the Applicant ought not to suffer or be rendered

remediless in pursuing the Appeal From Order.

3.       In the aforesaid circumstances, having perused the memo of the Application

and considering the period of delay not being very gross, in my opinion, the

reasons as set out certainly provide for an appropriate justification and a sufficient

cause shown by the Applicant in regard to the delay in filing the Application. It is

hence in the interest of justice that the delay is condoned.

4.       The Interim Application is hence allowed in terms of prayer clause (A).

5.       Interim application stands disposed of in the above terms. No costs.




                                                  (AARTI SATHE, J.)
